Test Categories

The DISSM Way
“Sharing Test Results Information in the Same Way”

The Old Way
“Struggling With Raw Data”

MICROCHEM

• Five cumulative test categories (standardized and clinically integrated)
• Dates on Y axis and tests on X axis (subcategories 1, 2, and 3)
• Dates on Y axis and tests in four standard columns on Y axis and (subcategories 4 and 5)
• An average of 80 percent media reduction (pages and screens) and major improvement in readability and trend analysis demonstrated with prototypes at two hospitals in Rhode Island
• Valuable opportunity for integrated test ordering application (“integrated CPOE”)

• Infinitely variable reporting formats (“flexible and user-defined”), cumulative (in hospitals) and non-cumulative (in physician offices)
• Fragmented (disintegrated) data resulting in laborious, error-prone trend analysis
• Outrageous waste of time, money, computing power and paper
• Costly patient safety, workflow and duplicative testing hazards
• 
  
  

SUBSPECIALTIES

• Fifteen cumulative test categories indexed by organ system

• Fragmented, non-cumulative data received sporadically
• Laborious, error-prone trend analysis (page/screen by page/screen)
